Dearest Jeanie.-

Received your most welcome letter to-day. I am going to try and get home around the first of September to see my son and heir #2 I am taking a film into town to-day so the snap shots should be ready in a few days! I will sure be glad to see what jr. looks like.

It would sure be nice of you could get the government to pay the doctor bill it would help a bit? We have a full crew here now and strictly operational I’m the ist way so I have to keep busy keeping up with all the new orders that come along. (it isn’t so soft) but I gotta work for a promotion. Those people in Trail sure have a lot of nerve using our staff and not even answering your letter’s I’ll sure give them a blast if you don’t hear from them very quickly! The weather has been grand here ately nice & clear and bot too hot!1 we have a bunch of old women looking after our barracks here now in the day time and they sure keep things clean but we cant run around nude any more in the day time!

Dearest Jeanie.-

Well you can see I’ve made a quick more its just temporary How long I don’t know we are at Torbay seeing I censor my own mail I can say that I guess? We have to censor the airmans mail every nite before supper what a job. This isn’t a bad station but oh boy these Newfoundlanders. (about a 1000 Years behind the times) I can’t tell you much here dear I have to censor others mail so I guess I had better not say much myself we shouldn’t be here more than a few weeks Goose in Labrador Will probably be our next stop you can address my mail here though it will follow me if I’m not here. We are still with 116 Sydney but we are on temporary duty all over the place so I guess that is all for now write soon. Love & kisses to

You all
Frank.
